CHAGE(1)                         User Commands                        CHAGE(1)



NAME
       chage - change user password expiry information

SYNOPSIS
       chage [options] user

DESCRIPTION
       The chage command changes the number of days between password changes and the date of the last
       password change. This information is used by the system to determine when a user must change his/her
       password.

OPTIONS
       The options which apply to the chage command are:

       -d, --lastday LAST_DAY
          Set the number of days since January 1st, 1970 when the password was last changed. The date may
          also be expressed in the format YYYY-MM-DD (or the format more commonly used in your area).

       -E, --expiredate EXPIRE_DATE
          Set the date or number of days since January 1, 1970 on which the user's account will no longer be
          accessible. The date may also be expressed in the format YYYY-MM-DD (or the format more commonly
          used in your area). A user whose account is locked must contact the system administrator before
          being able to use the system again.

          Passing the number -1 as the EXPIRE_DATE will remove an account expiration date.

       -h, --help
          Display help message and exit.

       -I, --inactive INACTIVE
          Set the number of days of inactivity after a password has expired before the account is locked.
          The INACTIVE option is the number of days of inactivity. A user whose account is locked must
          contact the system administrator before being able to use the system again.

          Passing the number -1 as the INACTIVE will remove an account's inactivity.

       -l, --list
          Show account aging information.

       -m, --mindays MIN_DAYS
          Set the minimum number of days between password changes to MIN_DAYS. A value of zero for this
          field indicates that the user may change his/her password at any time.

       -M, --maxdays MAX_DAYS
          Set the maximum number of days during which a password is valid. When MAX_DAYS plus LAST_DAY is
          less than the current day, the user will be required to change his/her password before being able
          to use his/her account. This occurrence can be planned for in advance by use of the -W option,
          which provides the user with advance warning.

          Passing the number -1 as MAX_DAYS will remove checking a password's validity.

       -W, --warndays WARN_DAYS
          Set the number of days of warning before a password change is required. The WARN_DAYS option is
          the number of days prior to the password expiring that a user will be warned his/her password is
          about to expire.

       If none of the options are selected, chage operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user
       with the current values for all of the fields. Enter the new value to change the field, or leave the
       line blank to use the current value. The current value is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.

NOTE
       The chage program requires a shadow password file to be available.

       The chage command is restricted to the root user, except for the -l option, which may be used by an
       unprivileged user to determine when his/her password or account is due to expire.

FILES
       /etc/passwd
          User account information.

       /etc/shadow
          Secure user account information.

EXIT VALUES
       The chage command exits with the following values:

       0  success

       1  permission denied

       2  invalid command syntax

       15 can't find the shadow password file
